📰 Team News: Hull City

Doğukan Sinik (Leg injury), Louie Barry (Knee injury), Liam Millar (Cruciate ligament injury) and Mohamed Belloumi (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing for Hull City gaffer Rubén Sellés.

It seems likely that The Tigers look set to kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system this time, utilising Ivor Pandur, Lewie Coyle, John Egan, Charlie Hughes, Sean McLoughlin, Regan Slater, Steven Alzate, Nordin Amrabat, Joe Gelhardt, Abu Kamara and Kyle Joseph.

📰 Team News: Derby County

Derby County manager John Eustace has to currently contend with reduced team options. Kemar Roofe (Hamstring injury), Curtis Nelson (Torn knee ligaments), Callum Elder (Knock), Corey Blackett-Taylor (Hamstring injury), Lars-Jørgen Salvesen (Cruciate ligament tear), Ryan Nyambe (Hamstring injury), Dajaune Brown (Hamstring injury), Jacob Widell Zetterström (Facial injury), Joe Ward (Knee surgery) and David Ozoh (Torn thigh muscle) are those who can’t be considered.

It’s our belief that The Rams might utilise a 5-3-2 formation using Josh Vickers, Craig Forsyth, Matt Clarke, Nathaniel Phillips, Sondre Langås, Kane Wilson, Ebou Adams, Harrison Armstrong, Liam Thompson, Marcus Harness and Jerry Yates.

💡 Prediction

In this match, Derby County should have enough to find the net against this Hull City lineup, but it might not be enough to avoid defeat.

We reckon that it will be a narrow 2-1 win for Hull City after the 90. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
